Chapter 278: Journey back to Dunhurst (2)

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Ger focused on himself away from the others for a few hours before he was called over to the camp for some meat and to sit by the fire. He then told the others that he did not feel the cold anymore and didn't seem to need sleep. 

"Ah, you can stay on watch then, lad," Axel joked, but Ger readily accepted. "I was jesting-"

"I will stay watch all night, and when I feel sleepy, I will rest for a few hours. But I don't think I will need it for a few days," Ger explained to the group as the flames from the fire flickered shadows across his features.

Evanna was leaning into Arawn; his arms were around her waist from behind, but the pair watched Ger warily. Arawn wasn't one hundred per cent sure if Ger could be trusted after listening to Garrett explain the curse and what could happen to him. On the other hand, Evanna thought her best friend had aged within the short time they'd been apart.
